Additional Notes
Tiny incorporated village (per Wikipedia, mayor-board government, straddling White and Wayne counties, incorporated 1872) with no official municipal website found. White County's official site (whitecounty-il.gov) lists no building, zoning, or planning department at all. No official source (village or either county) confirms who issues building permits here; this appears to be a small village with no formalized building-permit apparatus, or one administered informally that could not be verified online. Mailing address is a third-party directory listing (PO Box 706), included only as an unverified lead, not a confirmed current contact.
What You Need Before Applying for a Permit
Most building departments ask for the same core package before they'll issue a permit: a completed application naming the property owner and contractor, the contractor's state license number and proof of insurance (general liability, and workers' comp if employees are on the job), a notice of commencement or equivalent recorded filing for larger jobs where the state requires one, and scaled plans or a site plan for anything beyond minor repairs. Roofing, fence, pool, and solar permits typically have their own simplified checklists — Village of Mill Shoals's department (above) can confirm exactly what applies to your project.
Why this matters for insurance: permit history is one of the first things an underwriter or adjuster checks. Unpermitted work — a finished basement, an added bedroom, a rebuilt roof — can complicate a claim or even void coverage for that portion of the loss, and it routinely surfaces during a home inspection. Pulling the right permit up front, and keeping the closed-permit record on file, protects both the property's value and its insurability at resale.
